Sounds like Azure... Solid 500s from API, but status is green.

I assume you’re on the lowest tiers; HTTP 500 randomly for hours seems to be the Azure way of upselling.

What's the path from random 500 for hours from a services and decision to give them more money? That seems backwards.

Sales team uses downtime to upsell a plan with better SLAs.

I don’t see the logic here. “Our thing doesn’t work, pay us more, so that it still doesn’t work, but we are kinda responsible for that then”?
